Anybody have any experience with the sudoers file? I've tried man, info, and google - all with the same result :-( I want a user, admin, to be able to run /bin/tar without passwords so I "visudo" and enter this line (as suggested in the references: admin ALL=/bin/tar NOPASSWD: ALL but every time I exit, I see this: >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 25 <<< What now? The only thing that works (AFAIK) is: admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL (which is more that I want to allow!) OR admin ALL=/bin/tar (without the "NOPASSWD: ALL") What am I missing (besides "a clue"?)
